Wow! Jack was 61 in 1955....I recognized Irene Tedrow right off....I grew up watching her in many programs...and Groucho...What a guy...and they're all gone...
I didn't know here name but also recognized her right away. I've seen her in numerous TV shows over the years, one being the mother in the Twilight Zone episode, "Walking Distance".
I was born in 1972 and grew up with 70's and 80's comedy. And yet, I find myself coming back to these old videos of comedy from the 50's and 60's, and I enjoy them alot more than the crap we have today. I also prefer music from the mid-to-late 1960's far better than modern music. Why? Because there was more class in the world back then and people didn't get so offended at the drop of a hat, that's why. My parents were so lucky to have come of age during this era of entertainment.
Same here! And the past comedies and great shows from 'our' time isnt honored enough. Ask a 20-30 yr old today about this era and they know nothing, pitiful and shameful
The end of that Jack Benny Show is missing... Jack asks Groucho to come out and thanks him for being on the show... Groucho:"When do I get paid?"... Jack Benny: "You can pick up a check on your way out"''' Groucho: "I prefer cash"... Jack Benny: "Is there something wrong with me giving you a check?"''' Groucho: "Sure, I can tell a phony, too"...
Not only one of the longest running shows EVER, which transcended from radio to tv and back, but possibly the BEST. And totally about people talking to one man.
Irene Tedrow was a graduate of Carnegie Tech. I did a commercial with her in the eighties. She was a very sweet and friendly woman who died of a stroke at age 87 in 1995.
Two absolute masters of their craft. Hilarious without a single vulgar comment or lewd reference. A privilege to see these greats so long after they've left us. Thanks for posting!
The great thing about Groucho, was that even when he was doing a rehearsed skit, he could come up with an unexpected adlib so smoothly, you'd think it was planned.
"You sound like the type who's never been a customer." this is a great line, very understated--JB's main skits in his show were about his being a customer in department stores,etc., then getting in all sorts of conflicts with the salespeople. Love this clip!
When I was a kid, my older brother wrote to Groucho asking for an autograph. Groucho signed a picture and sent it to him. Since Groucho had written a note with his picture, my brother wrote again. And so did Groucho. And they kept exchanging letters for something like a year. Groucho was really nice and gave all kinds of good advice.
Just make sure not to confused the caricature that Jack Benny plays of himself with Jack as he really was. By many accounts, Benny was one of the most selfless and charitable people in show business at the time. He would only play a vain cheapskate for comedy's sake.
The difference between the great comedians back then and today is that back then they had the time and patience and skill to develop their "characters," not just depend on one-line zingers. The image of Jack Benny being cheap was reinforced time and time again (he actually was an extremely kind and generous man). Today's comedians do material that most often is totally interchangeable between them; you couldn't take a Jack Benny Show script and have it work as effectively with any other comedian. Which brings me to the writing. While Jack would contribute ideas and comments, and had final say, the scripts were written by some of the most talented and funny writers in the industry. Benny's radio show had pretty much the same four to six writers every week for many, many years, usually two or three to a "team." One team would write the first half of the radio show; the other would do the second half. Then together they'd iron out the continuity, at which point Jack would come in for what we now call a "table read." Jack wanted his character to be the "shlub" - the butt of the jokes. He didn't care if he didn't have a punch line on a sketch, which was very different from others in his and later eras. Things happened AROUND and TO Jack, which was all a part of the character he portrayed. That consistency, and the lack of an ego, made the "Jack Benny" we heard and, later, saw, a personality we could identify with, and, importantly, make us COMFORTABLE with our "old friend." That's much like the way McDonald's, for example, provides consistent experiences; when you go into a McDonald's, you already know what's on the menu, what it will taste like, etc. You don't have to study the menu, wonder what the food will taste like, and so on. (Holiday Inns built on that same idea for years.) Jack was born on Valentine's Day in 1894. He was in many ways America's "Valentine," beloved by millions. During a visit to Chicago, I drove up to Waukegan and walked around a little. There were plaques, statues and memorials throughout...even a Jack Benny High School! I later visited his grave at the Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Culver City, CA, and spent a moment silently thanking him for the comedy, the laughs and most of all, the LOVE he gave to the world. The era of the comedic greats who built their characters from the ground up, and who stayed consistent throughout their careers, is long past us. We don't want to "get to know" these people; we want instant gratification without having to think about it. THAT is a real shame. So, THANK YOU, Jack, for everything you gave us...it couldn't have come from a nicer or a more loving man.
So many nuances in JB's character development. Over the years his hair piece was mentioned time and again, yet he never ever wore on his entire life. Some of the bits repeated over and over, yet the audience still screamed, knowing what was coming. Simple, yet constantly entertaining and effective comedy.
This shows two comic geniuses at their peak. The timing and the comedic nuances could hardly be better. Irene Tedrow adds to the humor by understatement. I honestly pity those folks who have given this video a "thumbs down", and shudder to think what they must find funny.
hwoods01 , I said nothing about this clip not having enough farts and dick jokes. I was just commenting that people have different types of humor, based on personal chemistry, experiences, circumstances, ect.
Two of the titans of comedy. What a great post. Comedy today bores me, but I could listen to the old radio programs of Benny, Marx, Fibber McGee, Fred Allen all day.
There's more of us than you realize. I'm 26 and I have been listening to Old Time Radio since I was 20 years old. I have listened to the radio versions of the Jack Benny Show and "You Bet Your Life" in their entirety, as well as dozens of other old time radio shows. I have two other friends around my age that are also very familiar with old time radio, and know who Jack Benny and Groucho were.
Making eye contact with an audience is one of the most difficult tasks a performer must overcome. Jack Benny is a master of making eye contact, as you can see in this tape. Eye contact is 60 percent of the success of his style. His eyes roam around the entire studio. No other performer makes eye contact like this!
Her name was Irene Tedrow. I knew I wouldnt be able to get to sleep without looking that up. I cant name any show she was on but she was on everything I can remember.
It makes me feel great to be as old as i am just to know what this clip is all about. Two masters indeed, and Irene fit in perfectly. Loved it, thank you.
Love Benny's fake, affected "laugh" at 0:31! I'll have to use that at a party with someone I don't like. This is a great clip. Thanks so much for posting it!
I've been a fan of both Groucho and Jack for as long as I can remember and Man, when Groucho got that devious grin on his face I knew what was coming...my house fairly rang with me yelling, "NO, NO, NO!" Cos' I just knew what Groucho was gonna ask! I laughed so hard at Jack's facial reaction. Boy, I needed to laugh like that!
Oh what a treat, this is the second wonderful little piece I watched tonight. Love you tube, it gives many younger people a chance to watch fantastic talent like this
It was nice to come across something I'd never seen before. I like how the differences between the humor of Groucho and Benny played off each other. Thanks
Wonderful research. For an actress working as a "place-holder, she holds her character perfectly. Obviously comfortable with Benny and Groucho. The timing is impeccable. Comedians today just can't cut it on talent. This was perfection.
wow a great clip, I wish we had more "clash of the titans" clips like this - and I've never seen Groucho do the classic eyebrow raise in his later years or on his show, great stuff!
I enjoyed listening to Jack Benny on the radio when I was a young boy, and watching him on television. When I celebrated my 39th birthday, while shaving that morning, I got the joke! It hit me over the head! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this hysterical video clip. I watch it over & over and laugh each time till I'm in stiches. I passed it on to others so tehy could enjoy it as well.
I was only 3 in 1955 so I don't remember this specific clip but Groucho and Jack Benny were on T.V. for many years, and became 2 of my all time favorites growing up.Thanks for posting this. And no mrrk, Jack was not gay. It's what they called "Schtick" in those days.
Wonderful,, wonderful, wonderful. This sketch could be played today (if done correctly) Sooooo funny. But no one could do it like Jack and Groucho!!! (I'm English but find this American humour so very good).
oh, my god tombarrister. i am so glad to see someone like you take an interest in these comedians. even i was a baby when i saw this stuff live on our 9" tv. keep up the good work with your information...carry on this great legacy. bless you, bless you for your research.
I listen to Jack Benny shows a lot via podcasts. Never fails to crack me up. He had the best actors as part of his ensemble. Phill Harris, Mel Blanc, Eddie Anderson, Frank Nelson (Yessssss!), Dennis Day, Don Wilson etc. All great actor/comedians with tremendous talent, timing and skills. The model for shows to follow like the Newhart shows.
On this day in 1950 {October 28th} "The Jack Benny Show" debut on the CBS-TV network... The show ran from 1950 to 1965 with a total of 254 episodes... It won 7 Primetime Emmy Awards...

No entertainer/comedian today can fill the void of these comedians long passed. Classic fun and comedy !!
That was such a great skit and to see the expressions on Groucho and Jack when Groucho asked how old Jack Benny really was is priceless
Don't you know it was staged??
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this or any of Jack's other clips/shows, I always crack up. He never gets old.
This is like opening a time capsule! Two great talents coming together.

Same here. I love watching the old crime shows, the variety shows and so forth. Everything today, I have 0 knowledge of and I am quite fine by that!
Same here! And the past comedies and great shows from 'our' time isnt honored enough. Ask a 20-30 yr old today about this era and they know nothing, pitiful and shameful
Wait, I thought you were 39.
I shudder to think as people get older they become less wise and stop understanding matter of opinion.
T S yeh ,or even what somebody’s on about
I'm fifteen and this is epic, I wish more people in my generation could enjoy this.
the good ons can

Im fifteen as well man, and I love this
@@colejohnsondrums lol dude I can't believe this comment is 8 years old. I can't even fathom this
Two comedic geniuses at their best! They knew how to make people laugh!
One of the greatest sketches of all time. Groucho is timeless.
So is Benny. This is an all-time classic.
''that's not what you said in rehearsal'' 🤣
The end of that Jack Benny Show is missing...
Jack asks Groucho to come out and thanks him for being on the show...
Groucho:"When do I get paid?"...
Jack Benny: "You can pick up a check on your way out"'''
Groucho: "I prefer cash"...
Jack Benny: "Is there something wrong with me giving you a check?"'''
Groucho: "Sure, I can tell a phony, too"...
I absolutely remember that. I was hoping it was there .
LOL
Hi Cubbiefann,
Thank you so much for sharing your comment. I laughed so so hard. These writers were masters of comedy. God bless
Yes that was the best! That ending ❤😂
Thank you. Classic.
Phil Hartmann’s resemblance to Jack Benny is frightening.
Not only one of the longest running shows EVER, which transcended from radio to tv and back, but possibly the BEST. And totally about people talking to one man.
HILARIOUS! I love it when Jack starts naming all the different objects you find in a house in order to win the money.
This format suited Groucho so much , I’m glad he agreed to do this show
Irene Tedrow was a graduate of Carnegie Tech. I did a commercial with her in the eighties. She was a very sweet and friendly woman who died of a stroke at age 87 in 1995.
Irene was on the Addams Family as Miss Thud. Absolutely wonderful!
Two absolute masters of their craft. Hilarious without a single vulgar comment or lewd reference. A privilege to see these greats so long after they've left us. Thanks for posting!
"Ronald huh, It was Rodney in rehersal." Classic Groucho. I wish he and Jack Benny had worked more together. They have great chemistry.
Venom101002 you’re
The great thing about Groucho, was that even when he was doing a rehearsed skit, he could come up with an unexpected adlib so smoothly, you'd think it was planned.
I looked up Jack Benny's wiki. He was good friends with Zeppo Marx.
Groucho Marx and Jack Benny are both Jews. The Jews are fantastic comedians.
@@abrahmanharun2154 They were on the same vaudeville stage.
Groucho as the straight man! Thanks for the videos!!! 📻📻📻
"You sound like the type who's never been a customer." this is a great line, very understated--JB's main skits in his show were about his being a customer in department stores,etc., then getting in all sorts of conflicts with the salespeople.
Love this clip!

I hope your brother saved all of those letters. Absolute treasures for sure.
Oh, I'm envious. I was born a few years after he passed, so no such luck for me. :-/
Ha! Making Jack choose between his vanity and his cheapness. Classic.
Just make sure not to confused the caricature that Jack Benny plays of himself with Jack as he really was. By many accounts, Benny was one of the most selfless and charitable people in show business at the time. He would only play a vain cheapskate for comedy's sake.

Bob Hope.

This shows two comic geniuses at their peak. The timing and the comedic nuances could hardly be better. Irene Tedrow adds to the humor by understatement.
I honestly pity those folks who have given this video a "thumbs down", and shudder to think what they must find funny.
I wouldn't stress too much on those who thumb down, they have no clue what good comedy is or where good comedians originated from.
Gary Peterson It's a great skit, what can I say. ;)
+Gary Peterson You hit the nail on the head. Absolutely brilliant.
+Gary Peterson , not everyone finds these kind of jokes funny.

Tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. I grew up with these two genius comedians on TV every week.
So missed, thank you!
This is what’s called comedy, not what allegedly passes for it today. I’ve watched this over a dozen times and I laugh each time.
Two of the half dozen or so true comic geniuses. They both progressed thru big changes in media and neither missed a beat.

This was made b4 I was born and I'm old. I LOVE the old shows!!
I love the look of tragedy of Jack's face before he says "39". Wonderful stuff from the masters of humor, thanks for sharing
The Rodney during rehearsal line was an adlib and damn near made Jack laugh.
It makes me feel great to be as old as
i am just to know what this clip is all about. Two masters indeed, and Irene fit in perfectly. Loved it, thank you.
What a difference from all the flashy crap of todays T.V offerings!

As Groucho once said, " If you have to be dirty to be funny, then you aren't funny'.
The instant Groucho initiates the eyebrows you KNOW it's on. Groucho for the win.
Financial crisis
My family an d I always enjoyed Groucho 's shows.
Benny always does well just pausing.
I love how his smile got so HUGE when he asked Jack's age. Jack should have seen it coming--they've known each other since vaudeville. :D

Two STRAIGHT masters of the dry comedy style, How great
Groucho and Jack, it does'nt get much better!
I do love this man, and times have in fact seriously changed.
I never tire of comedians of that era. Tremendous talent.
One of the greatest things about live comedy, watching them try to stifle their own laughter.
That's one of the things that made the Carol Burnett show well worth watching!
Have seen this numerous times, just as funny the last time as the first time.
So silly. So simple. So brilliant.
LazlosPlane Absolutely wonderful.
These old comedians beat todays lot hands down.
She was great! In this piece, though, she speaks volumes with just her eyes.
I read about this sketch in one of Groucho's books.He & Jack Benny are two of my favorites,thanks for posting it.
Jack Benny stands up after all these years.
Absolutely agree. Even if I had been born elsewhere than Waukegan. He is GREAT here!
@monokhem It was was funny as heck. You suck!!! LMAO
I still listen to his radio shows on podcast
@Richard Koenigsberg Well, Benny was a great stand up comedian
@@alilacherruse ~ he was GREAT anywhere!
Loved it when "Rodney" reached down the Duck's throat "Hey is there any more down there??!!"......Groucho:"Nahhh, duck just flew in from Vegas."
